Spectacular World

Paragon's Fate

Fifteen years ago...

"It's very pretty." K muttered, staring out at the little blue planet. From all the way up on the moon, it looked so small. Like nothing more than a tiny dot cloaked in the light of the sun.

"It is, isn't it?" His father, Alien, let out a soft snort. Alien was tall and lanky, covered in hard red skin, with a pair of twisting horns that jutted out of his head. He was a monster. A monster that took good care of his son. "You used to live there once, you know." Alien chuckled as he patted his son on the head. K still looked mostly like a human. The Emperor's mutations hadn't fully set in yet, so the only signs of the change were the tiny horns that were nearing their growth.

K looked up at his father with wide eyes. "Really? I used to live down there? Seriously?"

"That's right." Alien knelt down in front of his son and placed a hand over the boy's heart. "Our kind didn't use to live here." The 'here' in question was the Emperor's castle. The master had been cast out of Earth, the humans deeming him 'evil' and labeling him a 'villain' all because they couldn't understand him. The castle was massive, formed out of pitch-black stone, and filled with millions of rooms for his army. That was where Alien and his son currently were. Their room was small, with only a pair of beds and a window that allowed them to see their former home world. "We lived on Earth with our master. When humanity kicked him out, though, we were forced to come with him."

"Why don't humans like us, dad?" K asked, cocking his head to the side.

Alien frowned. "I don't think it's that they don't like us. Instead, I think they don't want to like us. After all, we used to be humans once as well."

"We did?"

"Yeah, we did." He smiled and poked his son in the forehead. "The Emperor wanted to make us better, make us stronger, so he used his powers to evolve us. Allowed our powers to take hold and build a body for us. It messed with our heads a little bit. Most of us can't remember much about our past lives or even our names. I can't even remember what your mother used to look like." Alien chuckled sadly and shook his head. "It's a small price to pay for a perfect world, though. A world without having to worry about the Beast from space."

K stared out the window, looking back at Earth. He didn't know why, but that voice in the back of his head, the one that constantly screamed at him to slaughter mankind, was growing.

"Mars King."

"What?" K snapped his head back over to his father.

"Mars King." His dad repeated. Alien pulled away and stood up, folding his arms. "The Princess of Life has seen fit to gift you a name. From now on, you are Mars King. You'll be placed on the same attack force as your friend P."

The Organization was made up of so many monsters, all created by the Emperor. Besides the four generals, those being Hell Hound, Golden God, Fairy Queen, and Princess of Life, there were many other attack forces, each with their own mission for when the invasion of Earth began.

Mars King's eyes sparkled a bit, and he gave a grin. "Mars King... Yes. I'm going to be the strongest. Maybe even the next King."

Present Day...

Mars King glared at Paragon; his arms tensed up at his side. He didn't know why, but he felt an aura of power coming from the girl. She had removed her mask, and now that he could truly see her eyes, he was without a doubt certain that she saw no light.

A blind girl stood before him. Yet for some reason, he found himself thinking back to that hellish memory of when he saw the Devil slay God. It was a similar feeling, though he couldn't tell if he was seeing the Devil or the God in her.
